I also had a quick walk in the Gardens this morning, no robins, but did see a Bassian Thrush in Section 25 (Proteaceae). It was feeding alongside the path and was quite confiding... until a vehicle drove by a couple of minutes later and flushed it. When I last saw it was 100 metres away and still flying. Was interested to see a Yellow Admiral, not many butterflies active in Canberra in July.
Cheers

terriersx2 visited in sunny conditions about 1030 and the only robins (2) we saw were of the yellow variety in section 89. A number of honey eaters were recorded including a pair of crescents ( 40 ) and interestingly a small group of white naped in section 92, overwintering perhaps ?
